jvm-arguments

is It same mean "JAVA_ARGS" and "JAVA OPTS"

I want to configure java PermGen option for jenkins.

in search web, I found article which write:

set java_opts JAVA_OPTS="-server -XX:PermSize=128M -XX:MaxPermSize=256m"

other article says: 

set java args JAVA_ARGS="-XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Xms512m -Xmx1024m"

Are each options valid? if not, what is the difference?

Solution

  • The only thing that is important is what the actual arguments are in the "-XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Xms512m -Xmx1024m".

    What you call the environment variables is up to you for the most part, it is whatever the scripts you want to use it are expecting.
